The problem I am having is that ant is compiling classes it shouldn't (i.e. they are
not specified in the javac task's includes). The extra classes aren't dependencies as
when I compile using my IDE, only the expected classes are compiled.
Even more curiously, the output of 'ant -verbose' only lists the classes I would
expect to be compiled.
So ant/javac is stating that it is only going to compile the classes as specified in
the includes directive, but it goes on to compile additional classes also.
The (large) project I am working on has multiple build files set up like this:
build.xml - main build file that sets up common properties
|-buildServer.xml - build targets for the server code base
|-buildPresentation.xml - build targets for the presentation code base
...
The main build.xml file has targets set up that merely call the corresponding targets
in the sub-project build files.
build.xml:
<target name="compilePresentation" depends="prepare">
<ant inheritRefs="true" antfile="${presentation.file}"
target="compilePresentation"/>
</target>
buildPresentation.xml:
<target name="compilePresentation">
<javac destdir="${build.dir}" debug="on" includeAntRuntime="no">
<classpath refid="class.path"/>
<src path="${java.src}"/>
<include name="com/runservicenet/uwp/presentation/**"/>
<include name="com/runservicenet/uwp/util/*"/>
<include name="com/runservicenet/uwp/util/dataaccess/**"/>
<include name="com/runservicenet/uwp/util/xml/**"/>
<include name="com/runservicenet/uwp/util/http/**"/>
<include name="com/runservicenet/uwp/server/serviceclient/**"/>
<include name="com/runservicenet/uwp/server/serviceinstanceexecution/**"/>
<include
name="com/runservicenet/uwp/server/ServiceExecutionException.java"/>
</javac>
</target>
The above classes are being compiled, but I am also getting classes from other
packages (com.runservicenet.uwp.resource, com.runservicenet.uwp.config,
com.runservicenet.uwp.factory) being compiled, despite none of my code using classes
from these additional packages.
What am I doing wrong, or is this a problem with ant 1.5?
In case you are wondering, I am using multiple build files like this to avoid having
one honking great build file. I am using ant 1.5beta1 because when I tried using ant
1.4.1, I couldn't get the classpath reference to be passed through to the sub-project
build files.
